Joe Biden Walks Back Defunding Police: Departments Should Get Money to Hire ‘Social Workers, Psychol

Joe Biden claimed Wednesday that, if elected president, he will boost funding for law enforcement in order for police departments to hire social workers — who he says will handle “god-awful” situations that officers cannot.

“I don’t want to defund police,” Biden stated during a virtual fundraising event with Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D), a potential vice-presidential pick, according to The Hill. “I want to get police more money in order to deal with the things they badly need, from making sure they have access to community policing, that they have also in the departments social workers, psychologists, people who in fact can handle those god-awful problems that a cop has to have four degrees to handle.”

In the same event, Biden pledged in his first 100 days in the White House to work with criminal justice experts on police reforms.

“Reform means, at least the beginning, banning chokeholds, stopping transferring military weapons of war to the police departments, creating a model use of force standard and holding all police to the high standard,” the presumptive Democrat nominee said.

You don't need "four degrees" to handle a bank robbery. You need a good shooter with a dependable gun, range time, a steady hand, and a clear sight picture.

This is why today's "liberals" are not only idiots, but dangerous idiots.
